- Description
- Designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter and hinted by Thomas Rickner for Microsoft, Georgia is a transitional serif typeface that combines traditional features of rational serif typefaces from the early 19th century with modern design elements. It features a large x-height, thickened strokes, and ball terminals, giving it a unique look that somewhat resembles Clarendon designs from the 19th century. Its figure designs are lower-case, designed to blend into continuous text, making it ideal for small print and computer screens. Georgia's design was influenced by Scotch Roman typefaces from the early 19th century and was publicly released in 1996 as part of Microsoft's core fonts for the web.
Best Use Cases

Usage Instructions
